   Our server was Isabelle. She was absolutely lovely. She assisted us in making our dinner decision. She was attentive,present but not overwhelming. We started with the whipped. Feta which was outstanding. I had an espresso Martini which was Great, my husband had the Seville whisky also Great. For our entree's,I had the rigatoni Bolognese,I added grilled shrimp & it was delicious. My husband had the chicken Parm in a vodka sauce, also amazing, I tasted it. No room for dessert. Definitely a wonderful experience. Thank you. R & J

   Attentive service, nicely varied menu. Great quality. On pricier side but worth it (@$50-60 per person). Would recommend for date night or special occasion.

   The food and service were great! Best chicken parm in the south coast in my opinion and reasonably priced for the portion!

   I am just spoiled from Olivia’s quality service and drink selection). I tend to only eat in or go to Olivia’s in Fairhaven when home. But, I ventured out to try something new. Big mistake, service was terrible, rushed, I think waiter might have been on something. Terrible food timing, brought two knives for me to eat my chicken parm, had to ask 3 times for more tap water, good quality was ok not bad, just simply put a bad service experience. Again, I am just used to the professional dialed in Olivia’s. This place needs a lot of work very unprofessional.

   Our request for a quiet booth for 4 was nicely accommodated at 1:30 luncheon. Service was impeccable: friendly, attentive, knowledgeable and never intrusive. We shared 2 appetizers, and the Shrimp Arancini was a delightful surprise. All four of our entrees were delicious and lunch-portion appropriate. Don't miss the bread pudding dessert! We'll be back, and are looking forward to warm days outside.

    Clams oreganata had a delicious sauce worth saving to add to other entrees, whipped ricotta was yummy and almost was dessert like with a hint of honey. The confit chili in the linguini with clams was a bit too much and not necessary, lasagna needed more sauce. Service was very good. Music choice did not match the restaurant atmosphere and was a tad too loud. Looking forward to returning and ordering something else on the menu. Loved the new decor.
